Elena,

First things first: be sure to reply *only* to the cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
mailing list.  I don't need to be cc'd (everyone knows I am subscribed to the
list) and please don't send messages only to me (always send them to the
list).   I do, however, often cc people that are asking their first question
because I don't know for a fact that they are subscribed to the mailing list
and I want to make sure that they get my reply.  That being said...

Read the manual:

If you can't get your remote machine to accept a connection, read the FAQ
entry about why some distros won't accept connections by default:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#q-mandrake-8.1-xdmcp


That should cover it.  There are links to further information about XDMCP in
the User's Guide entry in case you have more questions.
